swift seats work for me, but even they are a rather tight fit, i really think if it is that bad, a zook might not be the right car for you

Yeah agreed, I have swift GTi seats in mine but you will not fit a very big seat in a zook. And prey your missus doesn't see this....

The guy who I bought my zook off was about your measurements and used to race mine with the swift seats in it ;)

Don't go the Autotechnica or Monza buckets then.
Will be tight on your ar53.

Also with regards to your height, you'll need to do a bit of fabricating when installing the seats to move the slider/rail position backwards. I used the standard rail set up (I'm 5'11' and its borderline being too far forward, even when the seats at its furthest position back). Wants33 did do a decent fabrication for this - there will be pics somewhere on the forum.

PS, Reference to 'cow like missus' in the topic title? That's not nice, hope your missus doesn't read the thread.

vitara seats. bigger, supportive, comfy and roomy.

using the vitara seat rails it gives you a slightly higher driving position which means more leg room. this is ok for a softtop or hightop but might not go too well in a standard hardtop (might fit ok, would need to check)

they are NOT a straight bolt up job, the drivers side front rail mount(in car) needs to be removed so the seat can be bolted through the floor and holes drilled for other mounting holes. (all mounting points are double plated and I used some large washers aswell)

the original seatbelt buckles need to be mounted to the SEAT not the transmission tunnel and they fit better if you swap them from left to right (they can be left in the original position but mounting them to the seat gives a little extra belt length.

Well worth the effort.


PS. have some respect for your wife.
